The personnel of UDAR work university-wide as well as within individual schools and colleges of the University to discover, motivate, cultivate, solicit, and steward alumni, parents, faculty, and friends for immediate, long-range, and future financial support, through gifts and pledges to the University, for critical operations such as student aid, faculty support, academic and research program development, and facilities and infrastructure. Engage the highest levels of volunteers through activities such as the Arts & Science board, Dean's Advisory Council, staffing meetings, working with volunteer and school leadership to identify new prospects, coordinating engagement opportunities, developing major gift and transformational gift opportunities, and overseeing successful stewardship planning.
